Apple, you may recall, was meant to be the Beatles – and in a way, the worlds creative playground. It was to be a manifestly non corporate place where artists anddreamers could find the support for projects that establishment companies turned down.And in a small way, for the briefest time, it was. Its record division got off to a promisingstart with Mary Hopkin, Badfinger, the Modern Jazz Quartet, James Taylor and thecomposer John Tavener not a bad roster. Apple Films produced the weird cult classic ElTopo. And okay, so Magic Alexs electronics division ran mainly on fumes andhemorrhaged money it was a great concept.

That was, of course, long before Apple became what it is today one of theworlds leading employers of attorneys, barristers, solicitors and lawyers, creatures Applehas unleashed unsparingly, like the bulldogs in the scene recently restored to YellowSubmarine, on everything from similarly named computer companies, Broadwaymusicals, fans who hoped to celebrate the Beatles on their websites, and scholars workingon books about the group and its music.
But let us forget all that for an hour or so, and look back to the halcyon days whenApple was a fresh, pure and wonderfully naive idea.
This CD begins with a few important mementos of John Lennons and PaulMcCartneys May 1968 visit to New York to announce their new company. The first is areconstruction of the May 14 press conference, compiled from excerpts broadcast onWABC radio, with additions from The Compleat Beatles and The Beatles Anthologystitched in when they were more complete than the WABC versions, or included materialthat WABC didnt air at all.The two major appearances of the week the Newsfront interview, from WNETtelevision, and the visit to The Tonight Show are included in their entirety. And fillingout the disc is an appearance by McCartney, with protege Mary Hopkin, on David Frost Presents.
